TRUE OR FALSE?
FALSE
Different cleaning tasks require the DIFFERENT methods
a kitchen appliance where you store food at a cool temperature.
Refrigerator
is the removal of visible soil
Cleaning
means reducing the number of harmful microorganisms by using very hot water or a chemical sanitizing solution.
Sanitizing
A ________ _______ that is an overall system should be prepared to organize all your cleaning and sanitizing tasks.
Cleaning Program
To be effective, cleaning and sanitizing must be two-step process.
What are the 2 steps?
Surfaces must first be cleaned and rinsed before being sanitized.
Clean in a logical order.
TRUE OR FALSE?
TRUE
Many cleaning agents are harmless. Their contact with your skin or eyes or breathing in the fumes can cause a serious illness.
TRUE OR FALSE?
FALSE
Many cleaning agents are HARMFUL.
Mixing one agent with another can be very dangerous. A chemical reaction can be set up, or in some cases, produce poisonous fumes.
TRUE OR FALSE
TRUE
3 parts of an egg
the shell, the egg white, and the egg yolk
The egg‘s outer covering, the shell, accounts for about 9 to 12 % of its total weight depending on egg size.
SHELL
The _____ is the egg‘s first line of defense against bacterial contamination.
SHELL
As the egg cools, the contents contract and the inner shell membrane separate from the outer shell membrane to form the air cell.
TRUE OR FALSE?
TRUE
When an egg is first laid, It is hot.
TRUE OR FALSE?
FALSE
It is WARM.
The _____ is produced by the shell gland (uterus) of the oviduct, and has an outer coating, the bloom or cuticle.
SHELL
This is the empty space between the white and shell at the large end of the egg which is barely existent in newly laid egg.
AIR CELL
also called egg white
ALBUMEN
The _______ somewhat seals the pores and is useful in reducing moisture losses and in preventing bacterial penetration of the egg shell.
CUTICLE
Egg whites accounts for most of an egg‘s liquid weight, about 68%.
TRUE OR FALSE?
FALSE
67%
From the yolk outward, they are designated as the inner thick or _____________ white,
Chalaziferous white.
The outer thick white is a narrow fluid layer next to the shell membrane.
TRUE OR FALSE?
FALSE
OUTER THIN
The inner thin white is a fluid layer located next to the shell.
TRUE OR FALSE?
FALSE
NEXT TO THE YOLK
The outer thin white is a gel that forms the center of the albumen.
TRUE OR FALSE
FALSE
OUTER THICK
This is the ropey strands of egg white at both sides of the egg, which anchor the yolk in place in the center of the thick white.
Chalaza.
is a dense, matted, fibrous capsule terminates on each end in the chalazae, which are twisted in opposite directions and serve to keep the yolk centered.
inner thick white (chalasiferous layer)
They are sometimes mistaken for egg imperfections or beginning
embryos, which of course they are not.
Chalaza.
The turn in the chalaza is meant to keep the germinal disc always on top whichever way the egg may turn.
TRUE OR FALSE?
FALSE
THE TWIST
The more prominent the chalazae the fresher is the egg.
TRUE OR FALSE?
TRUE
This is the entrance of the latebra, the channel leading to the center of the yolk.
Germinal Disc
When the egg is fertilized, sperm enter by way of the shell, travel to the center and a chick embryo starts to form
TRUE OR FALSE?
FALSE
ENTER BY THE GERMINAL DISC
is barely noticeable as a slight depression on the surface of the yolk.
Germinal Disc
Since table eggs are not fertilized, this is easy to recognize as when the egg is fertilized.
TRUE OR FALSE?
FALSE
THIS IS NOT AS EASY
2 KINDS OF MEMBRANES
one just under the shell and the other covering the yolk
shell membrane and the vitelline membrane
The air cell formed due to the contraction of egg as it cools, is found
between the two layers of this shell membrane.
TRUE OR FALSE?
TRUE
The outer membrane sticks to the shell while the inner membrane sticks to the albumen.
TRUE OR FALSE?
TRUE
During storage, the egg losses water by evaporation, causing the air
cell to enlarge. The _________ ________ is the covering that protects the yolk from breaking.
vitelline membrane
The _________ _________ is weakest at the germinal disc and tends to become more fragile as the egg ages. Every cook has experienced that the yolk of eggs that are no longer fresh easily break.
vitelline membrane
The ___ ____ is formed in the ovary.
